Brady Bunch: The Complete Series

Great value, arrived in perfect condition

This wasn't exactly my favorite show back in the day, it was just "something to watch", and...O-K, I had a huge crush on JAN when I was a kid [Am I the only one who thought Jan was the hottie? Never did care care for Marcia at all!]- but over the years, I'd often think of this show, not just as being something very wholesome, but as sort of a reminder of the glorious 70's in which I grew up.I really didn't know if the show would be watchable to me, a 56 year old heterosexual male, now- but when I saw this set for less than thirty clams, I figured I'd give it a try, and I am sure glad that I did, because let me tell you, this show STILL holds up! I seem to enjoy it more now than I did when I was a kid!Ah! A show that was made when TV networks still cared about not offending the moral values of the mainstream! A show which exudes the seventies, but which is not cheesy or corny or cliched, but instead is a slice of life from the time period in which it was made! Watching these episodes brings glorious memories flooding back! And I even find myself getting some laughs from it!Who'd have thunk it? The Brady Bunch? The BRADY BUNCH! And I'm enjoying it more than ever. (O-K, I'm not going to rush out and tell "the guys"....but I am relieved to be able to confess it here! :D)I find it interesting too, to observe my reactions to the show now vs. then. In some ways my opinions are the same (Cindy is still annoying as hell!)....and in some ways they are different (I now have an affinity for Bobby, and can detect a quality of depth in him- whereas I used to consider him as annoying as Cindy).I'm marathoning these eps, and having a BALL! It just makes me feel so good! (Pssst! Don't tell my friends and business acquaintances. I have an image to maintain!)Oh, and if you're buying this series, I guarantee that you would enjoy reading Barry Williams's book: Growing Up Brady: I Was a Teenage Greg, Special Collector's Edition -I read it 20 years ago- and still remember it, and how much fun I had reading it!And, oh, yeah....about the DVD set: It comes in a nice plastic case- not the flimsy cheesy cardboard you'd expect of such an inexpensive set. The discs are rather hard to pry off of the hubs, making it feel like I am going to crack them when popping them out.....but hey, ya can't have everything for this price, eh? Oh...and the picture quality and audio and everything are fine!All in all: WELL DONE! I bought this just on a lark- for nostalgia really, but it has surprised me as being one of my best DVD purchases in quite some time.UPDATE: The above comments are in reference to seasons 1-4. The show falls apart in season 5- from the very fist episode of the season! I mean, there's Johnny Bravo; numerous eps where they're in plays; talent show; even ballet(!); a terrible ep which was no doubt a spin-off attempt at some primitive multicultural propaganda.....and something i had completely forgotten about: The dreaded COUSIN OLIVER!!!It's actually kind of funny to watch season 5 though- not that the show is funny, but rather it is like viewing a stereotypical textbook scenario of producers who have run out of ideas/enthusiasm (or just stopped giving a darn) trying everything in the book to maintain a dead show through one more season. Season 5 is a veritable what-not-to-do for anyone embarking on a career in TV production!No wonder I'd never seen many of these season 5 eps in syndication when i was young....who in their right mind would want to recycle episodes which surely bombed when they initially aired?!

I got this for my sister’s birthday. We grew up on Brady Bunch and as half (although we never call ourselves this) sisters, we were definitely blended. She loves this set so much! I’m so glad I got this for her.

I bought the series for a client who loves the Brady Bunch. He is a multi pack smoker. By having him watch the films, he doesn’t smoke as often and gets him out of the smoke contaminated walls. It brings him joy and remembers his past.

These dvds came just like they were described with no issues or problems. & I recommend & strongly urge others to do business with this seller. & I am satisfied with my purchase.

The Show Itself:I would give the show 5 stars. I think most people know this is a cute, funny, wholesome show. We grew up on this show and enjoy watching it and feeling cozy.The DVDs Themselves:I would give the DVDs 3 stars. I bought this set of all the seasons together because it was the cheaper than buying the seasons separately.All 20 DVDs arrived in good working condition – no scratches and all played in my DVD player.Every episode name that is on a disc is written on each disc.The quality of the picture and color is mostly good, but for some scenes the quality and color are degraded. (I noticed it is also like this on the streaming episodes on Hulu, so it is probably just the film itself.)I included a picture of the back of the box so the aspect ratio, run time, and all the other information is evident.The case that houses the DVDs is not a good one and is frustrating. A few of the DVDs were loose upon arrival (though luckily still in good condition). It is very difficult to get most of the DVDs out of the sleeves. I have to push so hard on the little tabs that it hurts my fingers. Also, so as not to break a disc trying to get it out, I have to remove a disk behind the stuck one, to allow the plastic sleeve to bend just slightly enough to get the stuck one out. Also, the outer case doesn’t close easily, and when it does, then it is hard to get it open.I decided it was worth it for me to put all the discs in another holder, so I don’t have to go through all that trouble every time I want to watch them. I like the CheckOutStore brand of DVD holders, because they keep the discs in well and they don’t fall out, but they are very easy to release by just pressing the middle round tab. Their plastic is also not too rigid and not too flexible. Unfortunately, from what I can tell, this brand doesn’t sell 4 disc holders (which would have been great to have one holder per season); so I opted for their 2 disc holders (I got a pack of ten, 14 mm standard size; sold here on Amazon). I did a little DIY to have a presentable box set of the ten sleeves. I scanned in the original cover images, added a text box for the spine, and printed it to fit around the new sleeves. I store the ten sleeves in the box they came in. I just had to cut off one side of the box, to become the open front. I taped copies of the original images on the outside of the box.

I am very happy with this dvd set. The quality is very high. The shows appear to be complete and unedited. And, there are sufficient "breaks" to skip scenes, or the opening theme, should you desire. Very nicely done.

Good Family TV
